Post subject: Buying a Foosball Table

My colleague and I are putting together an office, and we wanted to throw a little leisure into the mix and get a foosball table.

Cheaper is better, although obviously we dont want something that is going to fall apart in a month. We were thinking the 300-500 USD range. Does anyone know any stores/companies in the Shanghai area that sells them?

We would need it delivered to the Jing'an area.

I've bought a couple over the last few years, one I found on alibaba.com, and the most recent on taobao.com. The first cost me about 900 RMB, and lasted 2 years in a "heavy abuse" environment. This new one, which is still to arrive costs twice that, and the seller is arranging the shipping for 150 rmb, and will ship anywhhere in the country for that (Xinjiang in my case). I dont think jing'an area will be a problem whoever you choose to buy from

If you want a serious table you can contact us. We supplied the tables to Big Bamboo, The Spot, Eager Beaver, Racks, Wunderbar, Lady Rose.

International tournament quality at made in China prices.

Don't buy a cheap table - you will want to throw it away after 6 months.

Thanks,

Fred Gower

Eager Beaver = best foosball table in Shanghai IMO

In case this helps.

I've been shopping around for a foosball table and have encountered a wide range of pricing. A friend of mine just sent over her search results on Taobao, prices there seem substantially cheaper. You will need Chinese language skills to use the site - or a friend with said skills.

Alternatively, if the language issue proves to be a barrier, you could use the pricing you see on a Taobao site as a negotiating lever (I found a table from a store in Shanghai priced at RMB1900, same table in Taobao for RMB1000).

Also found some tables that fold up against a wall for space-saving goodness Cool
